Pictures: Abortion at 8 Weeks

Before you look at the pictures of the babies aborted at 8 weeks, I want to share something with you. If you are woman considering abortion, and you came to this page wanting to find out more, I wanted talk to you from the heart and share some information you might not know. If you are not a woman seeking an abortion, and/or don’t want to read my message just scroll down to see the pictures.

First I want to tell you a little more about your baby. I’m getting this info from the site Endowment for Human Development, a scientific website affiliated with National Geographic. It has no ties to the prolife movement.

Jewels Green worked in an abortion clinic. Her clinic only provided 1st trimester abortions. She held women’s hands, watched women cry as they had their abortions. And in the backroom, she handled the broken pieces of the babies, holding the aborted babys’ feet up to a little chart to verify how far along the pregnancies were for the clinic’s paperwork. Even in the 1st trimester, many of the babies were fully formed, like the pictures you just saw. She told me that after each abortion, she had to look through the torn apart remains and make sure there were two arms, two legs, one head ,etc. Any parts left behind could cause an infection in the mother. In a book by pro-choice author Wendy Simonds called Abortion at Work, clinic worker “Risa’ says:

“I hate it when people put it [the aborted fetus] together to look like a baby. I hate that…

On page 86-87 of the same book, Simonds says all the clinic workers she interviewed told her “they never look at the face” when processing ’tissue’ from abortions.

Right now you may feel frightened, worried and alone. I don’t know your situation, but I know there are places out there that can help you. There are these places called Crisis Pregnancy Centers. These centers exist all over the world. They can help with all kinds of things. The one in my town providers counseling, help finding medical care, a place to live if the woman is homeless, baby clothes, maternity clothes, cribs, diapers, information about applying for benefits if you choose to, job training, help finding a job, and even day care.

Also, most of these places will do an ultrasound. Most abortion clinics will do an ultrasound too, but they will charge you for it. The crisis pregnancy center will do one for free. If you DO decide to have an abortion, and you tell the clinic you have already had an ultrasound to verfiy length of pregnancy, they may say you don’t need another one- and you’ve just saved yourself a hundred dollars. The crisis pregnancy centers. can’t stop you from having an abortion, no one can, abortion is legal. But they can give you information about abortion’s risks and alternatives you may get at the clinic. And all their help is FREE. Whereas an abortion clinic is a business that makes profit and charges for everything it offers. The main reason abortion clinics have for turning away women and sending them home is not health problems, but lack of money. The owner of one abortion clinic said in the Chicago-Sun Times: (he didn’t realize he was talking to a reporter)

“We have to sell abortions. We have to use all the tactics we can because just like my other businesses [a trucking firm, a pollution control business, and a real estate sales office] we have competition. Now, we have to go by the rules, but rules have to be broken if we are gonna get things done.”

“Every single transaction that we did was cash money. We wouldn’t take a check, or even a credit card. If you didn’t have the money, forget it. It was unusual at all for me to take 10,000 to 15,000 a day to the bank – in cash. It’s a lie when they tell you they’re doing it to help women because they’re not. They’re doing it for the money.”

Clinics can only stay open if they make money. They even charge for pregnancy tests, often many times more than you would pay buying one at the supermarket. (and its the same test) They don’t make any money if you walk out and have the baby. But crisis pregnancy centers have no financial stake in your decision. They will give you information that the clinic won’t, because they are afraid of losing your business.

I will give you the numbers and contact info for the pregnancy centers if you scroll down.

But first please look at some of the pictures of what will happen to your baby 8 weeks if she or he is aborted.

At 8 weeks you may be thinking of taking the abortion pill. You may not know this but abortions by pill are FAR more dangerous than those done by surgery. 5 women have died in the United States over the past few years from massive infections after taking the pills.

If you have taken the abortion pill but now regret it it may not be too late to save your baby . Go here immediately or call 1 877 558 0333

From Jewels Green, who I mentioned before.

“Working in the autoclave room was never, ever easy. I saw my lost child in every jar of aborted baby parts. One night after working autoclave my nightmares about dead babies were so gruesome and terrifying and intense I met with the clinic’s director to talk about my feelings. She was very understanding, open and honest, and painfully forthright when she told me, “What we do here is end a life. Pure and simple. There is no disputing this fact.”

Birthright is another excellent organization that helps women considering abortion. They have centers mostly in English speaking countries. They are not affiliated with any religion. I called them once. When I told them I was pro-life, they made a point to tell me they were “not political” They will not try to sway your decision. They have a 24 hour hotline. Please call them at 1-800 550 4900

In the United Sates, Carenet is a Christian group of crisis pregnancy centers. They can help in many ways. Their page has an anonymous chat and they too have a hotline, as well as a directory you can search to find a center near you. Go here.

There are other options for you than abortion. What about adoption? A lot of women feel they can’t “give away” their baby. But adoption is not the same as it used to be. Now there is open adoption, where you can be in touch with the family that raises your child and even be a part of that child’s life. I have a friend who is therapist, who says that her clients who give babies up for adoption do much better emotionally than those who have abortions- because they know their babies are alive and happy and not dead. Another person I know gave her baby to a couple in Canada. Now she and the family are close and she spends every Christmas with the couple. She had another daughter, who she kept, and the girls are growing up like cousins. She didn’t lose a baby- she gained a family.

Please also know that abortion can cause a lot of heartache to you, the mother. Several huge studies in Finland that took medical records from several countries found that women who abort have a higher rate of needing psychiatric treatment both inpatient and outpatient and the suicide rate for women who abort is 6-7 times that of women who don’t. For teenagers, another study found a 10x higher suicide rate. Here are some studies.

Although women very rarely die of abortions in the first trimester, there are other risks. Having an abortion can create scar tissue on the uterus which can cause tubal pregnancy, a potentially fatal condition where a subsequent baby develops in the Fallopian tube. Also, scarring can cause infertility. Damage to the cervix, the opening to the womb, (the cervix is meant to open slowly during hours of labor, not wrenched open in seconds by the abortionist) can cause miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths when it gives away in a future pregnancy. See studies here.

Also, there are no less than 58 studies showing a link between abortion and breast cancer. This is because the breasts begin to change in the first days of pregnancy to get ready to produce milk, but don’t finish changing until the third trimester. Aborting before then puts them in an intermediate state, more susceptible, some researchers say, to cancer.

Before you go to the abortion clinic, read about what other women’s experiences with abortion were like. Silent No More collects the testimonies of women who had abortions. It has over 2000 stories. if you read what these women are saying, you may get an idea of what abortion is like. Also, if you do have an abortion, Silent No More can tell you where support groups and other resources for post-abortion women can be found. Read what other women are saying.

There is another thing you may not realize. Do you have other children? My friend Susi runs a ministry for the siblings of aborted babies. She started it in honor of her little brother, who was aborted. Often when a child (or even an adult child) finds out that their mother had an abortion, it brings up feelings of sadness, grief, survivors’ guilt, and shock. You may say you will never tell your children, but secrets have a way of coming out in families, and kids are very good at figuring things out. My friend talks to siblings all over the world who mourn the brothers and sisters they never had. Please go here to read amessage she wrote to abortion minded women.

Before you make your final choice I want to leave you with these words from a woman who had an abortion. When asked what she would say to other women considering it, she said:

Never kill the child. It will haunt you the rest of your life… Recognize that, if you have the abortion, you’re not only killing your child, you are killing someone’s brother/sister, someone’s cousin, someone’s friend, someone’s grandchild, someone’s mother, someone’s father, someone’s neighbor. Realize that abortion is killing children…”

This page is the worst collectin of lies i have ever seen on this topic. Dont you dear call yourself christians, because in christianity, lies are a sin, and this page is NOTHING but dirty lies. Any doctor could confirm this, and any serious sources on the subject will tell you. Even wikipedia is a better source. Please look it up.

1) a 8 week old ferus is 1 cm long, much smaller than the coin. it does not have toes or a face. It is a red lump of cells covered in blood.
2) profesional abortions do NOT involve any cutting. You simply take a pill which makes you get your period. The lump of cells gets flushed out with the blood. It is so small you would not be able to distinguish it from a cloth of period blood. Let alone cut it.

Surgical abortion is the most common method of 1st trimester abortion here in the US, despite the growing popularity of medication abortion that you described. Surgical abortion involves the following. Well, when we do a suction curettage [suction aspiration] abortion, you know, roughly one of three things is going to happen during the abortion. One would be is that the catheter as it approaches the fetus, you know, tears it and kills it at that instant inside the uterus. The second would be that the fetus is small enough and the catheter is large enough that the fetus passes through the catheter and either dies in transit as it’s passing through the catheter or dies in the suction bottle after it’s actually all the way out. (Sworn testimony given in US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (Madison, WI, May 27, 1999, Case No. 98-C-0305-S), by Dr. Martin Haskell, an abortionist. He describes legal activity.)
As far as the appearance of the embryo at 8 weeks gestation
(6 weeks postfertilization) goes, here is an unbiased scientific source from a website owned by National Geographic. http://www.ehd.org/dev_article_unit7.php At 8 weeks post fertilization, which is the age of the embryos depicted on this page, the embryo looks like this. http://www.ehd.org/dev_article_unit10.php And if you want to see what a 9 week old fetus looks like following a suction aspiration abortion, here is a medical illustration from a company that illustrates medical textbooks. http://www.medicalillustration.com/generateexhibit.php?ID=11041&ExhibitKeywordsRaw=&TL=&A=1282
As far as religion goes, the woman who wrote that article and runs this website is an atheist, however, she does value factual accuracy. You are welcome to check the neutral scientific sources that i have attached and look up information about 1st trimester surgical abortions.

Maria,
I understand you not believing, I didn’t either at first. I respect your opinions and beliefs. But PLEASE do not attack someones views or religion.
As for the “facts” you stated above… I apologize but they are wrong.
1. A human fetus has a heart beat after only 8 days after fertilization. (when the sperm enters the egg in the uterus)
If he/she has a heartbeat then they are alive. If the mother is human then we can safly assume that the child is human as well. So why would you say the unborn child is “just a lump of cells”? Im not attacking you but please reconsider what you call “facts”
-Helana

To have or not to have an unborn child is a woman’s right! And should never be taken away or for granted. I had my first child at the tender age of 19. I was not financially or mentally stabled as I thought I was but I had a good support system. 2/3 years later I had my first abortion…(Birth control failed me) A few years following 2 more abortions…Though not going thru with these pregnancies were a great relief, I still am some what mentally damaged from it…I just will like to encourage all the females who are going thru it or have been through this type of thing to remain strong! Abortion is wrong (You don’t have to be religious to believe such) but even with that being said (Thall shall not judge like he or she is without sin) Stay strong and count your blessings.

Ohh my God. am 8 wks pregnant n I was thinking of an abortion but now I feel like a total idiot n a murderer. thanks for this information. am going to hv my baby.thanks a lot for sharing this pictures. I mean my baby is a complete human being

An 8 week embryo is hardly bigger than a lentil. Those photos are or a much bigger and older fetus. It is incredibly morally bankrupt to lie to women about the development of their embryo to guilt them into keeping their pregnancy.

Also, it’s worth noting the photos are accurate in both development (see embryology sites and textbooks) as well as representing embryos of the stated developmental stage, with objects placed alongside for comparison (pencil tip or quarter) however, yes, the photos have been enlarged to show detail. Regardless of size, it was still a developing human organism that was destroyed.

Also, it is still accurate if they are referring to gestational age, just add two weeks to get the approximate dating by Last Menstrual Period (LMP). If you still don’t feel this is accurate, then please feel free to show us what you feel are accurate representations, preferably from a non-biased, scientific source.

I’m so confused, I’m 8 weeks pregnant, and in my final semester in college, my boyfriend wants me to keep the baby but I don’t want to, I love this baby but we don’t have the finances right now for the baby and I don’t want to bring a child into this world to suffer, I love the child I’m carrying God knows this, I just don’t want the baby to be unhappy, I want a stable family for my first child to be born into this has been my life long dream. I’ve been very depressed and I’ve had suicidal thoughts of late, I don’t know if it’s because of my pregnancy hormones or the fact that I’m really unhappy, I don’t want to bring my child into this world like this. What do you think?… Btw I live in Western Africa

dear becky i would wish that u could keep the baby beacuse i also did an abortion when i was 8 weeks pregnant and my boy friend was very supportive ti me.he was okay with whatever decision i take.he wanted me to have the baby in the first place.he knew i loved babies n it was always my dream to have one.he told me that it was my dream and asked me to tell my parents so that we could get engaged.but since we both hadn’t finished our degrees it was not a possibility.besides my parents were not in a good physical condition.however i was facing the same situation as u are right now.finally i did it.i was back in my country for vacation when i found out that i was pregnant and i was willing to go back to china cz i was doing my studies there and with a baby inside me it was difficult for me to stay at home.my condition was also too bad that even doctors couldn’t stop me from vomiting one minute after the other.however we both took the decision and went back to china for abortion.finally it was done.my vomiting was gone and after few hours i was feeling totally fine.but after few days i was having cramps again.when i went to see the doctor she said there were remains of the baby in my womb which they tried to remove by giving me medicine.after another week i went back to the hospital.still some remains were there and the doctors did another little operation to remove them.the basic reason for that was my baby was a little big by then.so i had to go through those.i thought everything was over.but it was not.even now im crying from time to time.i cant forget my baby.my boy friend is always with me,always taking care of me.but still i can’t make up my mind i wish i had told my parents and raised my baby.i visit abortion sites and watch videos.whenever i see a baby i remember my own baby whom i lost.so i kindly request u to keep the baby if u have at least a 1% chance of keeping him cz i really feel the pain within me.if i had the baby i would have given birth in september.so please try ur best to keep the baby.anyway i respect your decision cz i know how u feel right now.may the triple gem bless u.and may the god be always with u.

i had an abortion 7 months ago and still im worrying about it.my boyfriend is really supportive but i still cry within my heart secretly.i can never forget my baby.wish i could give birth to her and raise her.but i had to think about my parents who are not in good health and my boyfriend’ parents whom i had still not met.i loved my baby but i did something wrong.i cant get away from this thought,never in my life will i feel relieved again.i will cry throughout my whole life.wish i could have my baby back

I came across this page trying to advise a friend considering abortion. I personally am against it and I can say this cause I was once in This position you people preach of so here’s my short story: I was a troubled teen over my head was raped at @14yrs old and got pregnant my parents kicked me out calling me a slur refusing to believe I was raped. I ran away to a shelter and I found a school to attend I had my baby and she’s beautiful. She was the result of rape but she helped me heal I told myself my first few months this was my reminder of that night I had so many abortion appointments but could never walk in the door. And the day I felt her kick I knew she wasn’t the result of anything she was mine. I can now speak of that night without a single hurt feeling she healed me and not once has anyone asked me who her dad is and if they were to I’d simply say ” he’s no with us but we’re doing fine” no need to explain more. Without her I believe I would still be struggling to heal from my ordeals. But if your life is hard this child yours carrying will bring light to your world in way nobody else can and if you love them they will love you no matter what they won’t care you’re not perfect they’ll make you smile every day and you ‘ll know forever you made the right choice with no what if. She’s 5 now and has a daddy who I’m marrying in June and maybe we’ll have an addition soon! I am not religious so I won’t prey for you but I hope my story helps you see this isn’t the end of you’re life it’s the beginning of two may be 3 new ones ( you and your baby/ babies) if I can do it at 14 you can do it too. As I said I’m not someone who’s shooting my opinion around while I live my gifted life of wealth I struggle my fiance and I both work and yes I get public assistance but we try and that why those programs are out there to help us people who work and TRY. So hold your head up high and fight someone judges screw them you didn’t need then anyways but keep this light and give it a chance to shine and bring you joy he/she will never abandon or hurt you and who else in this world can say that to you and truly swear by it!!!

I need help. I am 7 weeks pregnant and am about to get back with an abusive partner because we are going to have this baby together. I don’t know what to do. I cannot raise the child on my own. All my family is in Australia and I’m just lost completely. Help.

Dear Lil,
You deserve the very best. You and your baby. I encourage you to find a place that you can stay Ie. Woman’s abuse shelter, a friends home, anywhere…if you feel that it is unsafe being w/ the father. If in your gut you belive that it’s wrong to be w/him right nw, then don’t settle. I was in the same boat as you with first child. And I did seek an abortion, but after chatting with an abortion clinic about the procedure, I decided “this couldn’t be my ONLY option.” I was convinced there had to be another way. Under the pressure of now husband, I married. It was a rough path. In my case, things did get better, but not without counseling, separations and more counseling. Although I sometimes regret my decision to marry, I’ve never regreted seeing my little girl grow up…she’s almost a little woman now. She’s an artist, loves to bake, and talks about designing clothing or becoming a police officer.
Walk with dignity and power. Some men have to be trained how to treat a woman. Lol. Don’t settle for less.
I encourage you to go online and do a search for places to go in your area. Also, there are a few pregnancy centers across the country that have many additional resources (food, clothing, counseling, info
on optional adoption agencies, if you decide that’s right for you. Inlist the help of family and friends. Seek out healthy frienships, positive company, people who love you. If you need to get back home to Australia, you might be able to ask for money from them or start a Kickstarter page-let me know if you do). Just know that you are valuable and so is the life inside you. Big hug! Trust your gut- your woman’s instinct. peace and love

I just want to make a suggestion. When posing the 8 week gestation dead, dismembered babies and their body parts for size, can you please flip the quarter so the image of the father of our country, President George Washington, is not defiled by having dead babies, blood, and body parts draped over his profile on the coins? I would imagine he would be “spinning in his grave” at the thought of such carnage on his image. It is very disrespectful, IMHO

I am very grateful to three courageous, heroic birthmothers who provided us with four of our children. Those kids are the light and joy of our lives, those women are heroes. I adore and pray for those birthmothers. Their circumstances were beyond difficult. Interestingly, two of the three were married. Sometimes there are circumstances that are so painful, difficult, frightening, life-shattering that the rest of us can’t imagine. But these women took terrible things and made them beautiful. The children are all in their teens/20s now, and are experiencing beautiful lives. We are not wealthy. Our kids don’t have everything. But they are loved, have incredible friends, plans, challenges, and have brought so much joy and happiness into the world. We are so grateful for them.

If you are pregnant and don’t know what to do or are facing difficulties, threats, financial problems, etc., there are options. Did you know that in some states, potential adoptive parents are allowed to pay some of your living expenses (rent, clothing, etc.) while you are pregnant? Did you know that adoption agencies provide counseling as well as placement services, and can even help you get Medicaid to pay for the birth expenses? Did you know that many colleges and universities have scholarships, grants, and other monies available to help single mothers to get degrees and certifications? Did you know that womens’ shelters can provide protection, clothing, transportation, child care, counseling, and other services to help you get on your feet and recover from abusive or violent relationships? Did you know that if you chose to place your child for adoption, you can choose the amount of contact you do or do not want with the child and family. You can choose a completely closed adoption (no contact at all) or all variations of open or semi-open adoptions where you decide if you want to receive pictures, letters, visits, etc. and how often. You are in the driver’s seat on these decisions. Did you know that if you keep your child, you have access to many government services such as WIC, Medicaid for the child and probably for yourself, subsidized housing, subsidized or free child care, etc. etc. etc.

Pregnancy is not the end of the world. Pregnancy is a gift. You can accept the gift, keep it, pass it along to bring joy to others, or destroy it in the most grotesque way possible. It’s up to you, and there is help and there are many options.

Oh, and when it comes to “the health of the mother”…of course that’s a time when all options should be on the table. I had to make that choice – I was told there was a 50% chance a pregnancy would kill me. I had to wrestle with my own options. I made my decision and knew it was the right one. For me. You need to make your own choice.

As for pregnancy that is the result of rape – again, abortion is an option to consider. But it’s not the only option and it may not be the best or the right one. I know of several children who are the product of rape. The are beautiful, amazing, talented people. They are completely innocent. They bring much into this world. I understand when people make decisions based on the best advice and research they can find. I know rape is horrible, completely undeserved, a violation and experience that requires recovery and support. But I admire and revere and celebrate those people who turn an awful thing into a good one, that make their decisions based on selflessness, courage, and a sincere wish to do the right, best, and noble thing. I can’t tell you how much every gift, every child brings into this world, and what they bring has nothing to do with how they were conceived.

I hope anyone that reads this that is struggling can know there is help and assistance, no matter what route you choose. I would hope that women recognize what a gift a child is. Isn’t it interesting that the voices screaming loudest for a woman’s right to choose are actually saying women must have the right to abortions because they can’t handle the results of their own actions and decisions. What a completely un-empowering position. Each one of you has the wherewithall to “handle” a pregnancy, no matter how challenging, and don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise. You are better than that.

I pray for those that have been forced or misled or deceived into having an abortion. I pray for those that have made an informed choice to have an abortion and are suffering years later because of that decision. I know that God can and does forgive mistakes. I hope all of you know there are better options that will not leave you physically or emotionally scarred, that will make something good and precious and beautiful out of the gift that new life is. There are many kinds of “health” to consider, and one of the best ways to enjoy good health and happiness is to choose wisely in all things that will impact you for the rest of your life.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and found out the guy I am pregnant to is married with children an grown children at that. I am 35 and told I was never able to have kids again. I have one beautiful daughter who is 13. I am so upset over the whole issue because he is telling me that I have to absolutely HAVE TO have an abortion because he is married. I told him I wouldn’t bring him in it, I wouldn’t involve his wife, I would leave him alone and never bring the baby near him or let anyone k know he is the father. He is still persistent that I have an abortion. He has threatened me by saying he will take me to court and tell them that I lied to him by saying I couldn’t have kids. Can he really do that when I have proof that I was told I couldn’t get pregnant. Apparently this is a gift from God and I am having do many mixed emotions. I want to have this baby I know he doesn’t control my body but I am afraid of what could happen to me because he is in law enforcement. He has already threatened me with a couple different situations. Such as I told him something personal about myself that happened years ago and he is threatening to bring that out. I don’t think he should be aloud to do that. But he tells me he holds the power. Can I please have some advice. I don’t want to put my daughter or myself in harm’s way then again I’m not going to kill a unborn child. Any advice would be grateful. Please no bashing me I did not know he was married. I just need someone that doesn’t know me to talk to.

I mentioned your problem to a couple of friends and they all unanimously say you need to get a lawyer. Legally, he has no grounds to stand on because no one can force another person to get an abortion. But it’s best you get a lawyer – if you can’t afford one, you should look up the number for Legal Aid, which is in every state, they are lawyers that take on cases for people who can’t afford to pay. You could probably do a Google search for legal aid and your state, and come up with a number, or maybe find it in the phone book.

Another good idea would be to contact a crisis pregnancy center. These are organizations that help women who are pregnant in difficult conditions. They are usually run by pro-lifers at all their services are free. Tell them what you’re going through, and the fears you have, and maybe they can guide you on what to do. There should be one in your area. Here are some links where you can search for one. There are others too, there’s one called heartbeat international, but their website seems to be down. You could do a Google search for them if the other two don’t work out

These sites might be able to direct you to a center in your area where there are people who may have helped other women through the same circumstances. Even if they can’t help directly, I’m sure they will have some advice.

Finally, another friend of mine mentioned that you could contact a battered women’s shelter or other such organization. They may be able to give some advice, because his behavior is actually abusive in that his threats and, likely verbal abuse, are violating your rights. They may be able to give some advice about the situation.

I’m asking for forgiveness. I have five children and three gkids, two on the way. I had a lot of abortions in my younger days. Back then they didn’t show pictures and the information given was scarce, I almost died after having one. I try not to preach about my wrong doings. I had so many abortions that I had to have a hysterectomy at a young age and I fell into a very deep depression. Not to mention the countless corrective surgeries. I love children. I just pray God has forgiven me.

I am so sorry to hear about your experiences with abortion. I hope you know that God is so good and He has forgiven you! He will love you no matter what, just like your babies up in heaven. I will pray for you during your lifetime of healing. Even just on this thread, thank you for sharing your story so others know the real side of the abortion industry. God bless!

I am 18 years old, first year in college on a full scholarship. I am pregnant and stressed. I don’t know what to do. Me and my boyfriend aren’t even suppose to be together because we are both on the same team. I’m so stressed. I want to keep my baby. Just the thought of giving someone permission to go in my area and kill my baby kills me. I just have so much going on. My parents would be so disappointed In me. I feel so alone and helpless. I feel like I’m breaking everyday. Everyday it just gets harder for me.

I also got pregnant when I was 18. That was in 1968 when abortions were against the law. I had to leave the country. I ws fortunate that the doctor I went to knew what he was doing. I could never have had that child. I could never have raised that child. I was mentally ill and out of control.

I got married and had a baby ten years later. When that baby was 9 months old, I got pregnant again. I couldn’t have taken care of two children at that time. Why would I want to bring another child into an abusive relationship?

3 years later I had another baby. When these babies were 12 and 8, I was a single mom, got pregnant again. I couldn’t support another child. I had another abortion.

My boys are now 32 and 36, and they’re fine. I would have done a profound wrong to everone (not just myself) if I had not had those abortions. Something like half of all pregnancies abort spontaneously; many times the woman doesn’t even know she is pregnant. Unless you are sure you can raise and feed and clothe this child, don’t have it. There is as choice.

Think it’s pretty sick how you can abort one after another, like they are nothing, should take better precaution! Poor babies people that av abortion after another shouldn’t be able to have any kids!! Sick

Lisa, I really hope that you see this. I just want you to know that you can do this, and there is support for you.

I’m not judging anyone who chooses to abort their pregnancy I just wanted to let people know my story. I got pregnant at 15 I was an athlete the dad had football scholarships out the butt. I was a sophomore in high school was not working or anything . Yea it seemed impossible to have a child when I was a child myself , but I now have a beautiful 4 year old and it was not easy by all means it was rough I did it on my own , so ladies it is possible I have graduated college and I am now a licensed cosmetologist. You can do it it’s just not easy but I know it’s worth it . And again I don’t judge people at all you are all capable of making your own decisions for your own reasons just wanted to share

Yes that was really a good story about u and ur baby ! And yes I no its rough ! Went through the same thing but it was not me,, it was my daughter and yes we had some UPS and Downs and we made it this far and still to this day still going she is in preschool and she Is 4 now and very smart & very beautiful granddaughter!,wouldn’t want it any other way !!

Our dear little Grandchild. It’s so sad as Nana and Granddad didn’t get to meet you. We would’ve loved the opportunity to have raised you ourselves and would have loved you as we have loved your Daddy. My cousins (your Nana’s cousins) have paid thousands of dollars of their own money on the IVF programme to have one of you but sadly they never got the chance. They would have loved you to bits. When you were taken to Jesus you were fully formed and all you had to do was grow. God blew his living breath in you and gave you that little spirit and soul the minute you were conceived. They can even tell what colour eyes you would have had within 24 hours with your DNA. You see Nana was young, silly and sinful at 19 years old and fell pregnant with your Daddy but Nana chose life over death. Nana got to know God. Nana was scared and frightened. Nana had no family to help her out or a job and was in a woman’s refuge after being smashed over and Nana found out that she was pregnant with your Daddy. Nana started to seek God because God is truthful and true to his word.
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me and who seek me with all of their heart diligently will find me. I did find Jesus and he even healed me from my smoking. I walk with him every day like you now and I grow on his living word. He puts a peace in your life beyond understanding. You see my darling Grandchild, God honoured me for keeping your Daddy instead of aborting your Daddy like everyone wanted me to. You see I put my faith and trust in Jesus and guess what, he brought your Granddad along when your Daddy was 5 months in my tummy. Then Granddad and I got married when I was 20 and had your Aunty and Uncle also by the time Nana was 23. God made a way for me all of the way through and he provided and blessed my life. I am 43 and have been married for 23 years, as old as your Daddy. We were looking forward to meeting you so much but unfortunately your Mummy didn’t value your life as Nana did with your Daddy and she didn’t know God. You were in the way of her friends and her study and were an inconvenience to her life style so she decided to terminate your life. Then you were worth a flush down the toilet in her eyes. But you now know better than that because you are with Jesus now. We pray that your Mummy finds Jesus and repents for what she did so she too can meet you one day. There would have been plenty of people out there that would have loved the opportunity to love and raise you as their own but unfortunately in this world we are all born to sin and that’s why God gave his only Son to carry our sins and pay the price and sacrifice so we could repent and in this day and age we are all into ourselves and selfish nature which is the opposite to God. I would rather be selfless than selfish but that is what sin does. Listen little one to how you got your spirit.
Genesis 1:1&2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and (Listen little one) the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. The spirit of God (little one, that’s why you have a spirit) today we are made in Gods image.
Genesis 1:26 (So little one) Then God said let us make man in our image according to our likeness.
Genesis 1:27 (So little one) So God created man in his own image in the image of God. He created them male and female he created them.
Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground (and listen to this little one) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. So little one God gave your living breath and life to you but he loved your Mummy so much that he gave her a free will and sadly your Mummies will was death for you. It wouldn’t have been Nanas choice. But guess what? We need to love on your Mummy now so she can get to meet the Jesus we know.
Mathew 19:26 With God all things are possible.
Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths.
Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and a shield. The Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. So there you go little one, we can’t wait to meet you in Heaven.

I had an abortion 2 years ago and although I do regret the situation, I do not regret my choice. I had a long complicated issue and that seemed like the right choice— since then, I have been able to learn from my mistakes and make better choices for my life. I do not endorse abortion as a birth control method nor do I ever plan on having an abortion again. Since then I have been on birth control non-stop PLUS I use condoms as well just to make sure there is not even the slightest chance of pregnancy.

The abortion I had was at 8 weeks and I going to school full time and working as well. The pregnancy made me so sick I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I was unable to get out of bed and I was going to lose my apartment and become homeless if I did not do something. I had an abortion 3 days after I found out the cause of my intense sickness was pregnancy, and my boyfriend was only 17 at the time and there was no way he would have been able to help me. He was not mature enough.

I had an abortion and 5 hours after the procedure I woke up in my bed like I had never been sick. I was able to go to work 2 days later and go back to school and finish my diploma like nothing had ever happened.

Abortion is a choice… it should be a choice. I just hope all women will learn from their mistakes like I did to ensure that unwanted pregnancies do not happen again!!

I had an abortion too and it was the most painful experience ever. I would never do it again, I thank God for His mercies and grace today am forgiven and can live with myself comfortably again. Thank You Jesus.

I am 19 years old, and 5 months ago I was faced with the hardest decision in my life. 6 weeks pregnant, with a mother who wanted me to have an abortion, and a boyfriend who didn’t… and my own beliefs against the act. The love I have had for my mom made my decision super hard… but I made it on my own. I am now 21 weeks a long, with a precious baby girl, and I am so proud of myself for sticking with my beliefs. If I can do it, and other much younger girls have done it… anyone can do it without an abortion. There’s no good excuse to have an abortion, but a free escape from responsibility of our actions. You have unprotected sex, you conceive, you deliver, and from there you can choose to set up an adoption, or take control and raise that child as what it is… YOUR OWN. <3

To each is there own i dont believe in them i had to do a report my first year a college on abortions everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do at the end of the day you are the one who has to live with what you done like I said I don’t believe in them I do believe if you don’t want to get pregnant you should wear protection at all times regardless because when you don’t wear protection you know
what the possibilities are

grown enough to lay down I have unprotected sex you’re growing up take care of a baby that you make

I’ve had 7 abortions and now I am pregnant again. I’ve repeatedly made the same mistakes. I am keeping the baby I am carryin now. I’ve since repented and ask God to forgive me and help me through out this pregnancy. Abortion is horrible and devastating. I should’ve never done it that many times. I should’ve learned my lesson from the first time. I used abortion as a form of birth control. I have to live with what I did for the rest of my life. But God is a loving God and through him I found true peace and joy. Life may not be easy but with God on my side I know I’ll be ok. God loves each and everyone of you ladies regardless of what you’ve done or feel. God bless you all❤️

I had an abortion at 8weeks when I was 23 and I would do it again in a heart beat (a tiny pathetic heart beat) because I was pregnant I lost my job. It was my managers baby. It would have been retarded because I was partying lots and when I found out I was pregnant I tried to electrocute it. Throw myself down the stairs . abortion is a life unruiner. PS I got my tubes tied as soon as if found a doctor who was willing. No one has the right to tell me what to do with my body. And one other thing abortion shouldn’t be used as regular birth control. I was forced to do this because I was taking crappy third world birth control pills that didn’t work. I’m so glad I don’t have a baby and I’m not on welfare or fat or saggy tits or torn vagina. When I see prolife trolls with these stupid signs ..I want to hit them in the face with a rusty coat hanger. God bless the doctor who helped me. I would guard her with my life

She’s not a piece of shit, you are a piece of shit for judging people about their decisions, if someone wants to end a growth of cells in their body they have every right to. Look in the mirror at your judgmental self and just have a good laugh, dick.

I had one in 2012. I felt so horrible I fell into drug addiction. My goal was to pollute my body as much as possible. 1yr after having the abortion I looked at my life and figured what was it all for? I made a change went to church begged God for forgiveness and swore to never abort again. 2 weeks later I found out I was a few weeks pregnant pregnant. My baby girl is due in a few weeks.
I have never been able to feel that joy or happiness again that I once felt. It’s like a piece of my soul was ripped out of me. I think about it everyday and have never regretting anything more in my life. It really scars you mentally and emotionally. Women you can do whatever you want but what I wouldn’t give to feel whole again.

I have just discovered that I am pregnant and my boyfriend wanted me to abort it due to circumstances we have at hand. I wouldn’t lie, I was scared and I refused bt somehow somewhere I was thinking abt it. but reading your comments, I can’t do it and I won’t do it coz I can’t think of living my life no matter off the hook I may feel, I don’t think I will ever be happy coz from time to time, am sure I will be thinking abt it. I don’t want to go mad and I know I sinned by having sex but I don’t want to add Murder to my sin list. thanks everybody for your comments, I feel encouraged to keep it, I don’t care what embarrassment I may go through but I just want my peace of mind and I know God will be with us, even if the father says he doesn’t want to be part of it, I trust God will still be with us and he’ll see us through.

I had an abortion of a quite possibly very ill 8 week old fetus almost 20 yrs ago and have not been able to forgive myself . I have since had 2 beautiful children and one miscarriage. I still can’t help but wonder if I had the miscarriage due to the abortion. It is a horror that I will live with for the rest of my life.

Thank you Adrianna, u are a beautiful person, I just had an abortion Wednesday…. I have seven children and I provide for them solely….I don’t have help… No parents or family, or children fathers….I was careless not to use protection…. And now I regret all of this….i thought this guy was the one finally, but I was wrong… He told me he wanted a baby, I got pregnant and he changed on me….now I don’t want him cuz he lied…I got the abortion and now I feel like a loser!! I help others I’m a great mom, and now this, I totally believe in god….now I don’t know what to do with my life… After reading ur message I feel better…. But im still in pain, what to do??? sharday.scott77@gmail.com

Tech, you could have exercised a bit more caution before misrepresenting the 60% statistic.

The study I think you’re referring to was led by a British doctor, Noreen Maconochie in 2005(ish). In that study, Maconochie and her team do find that women who have had an abortion are 60% more likely to miscarry than those who haven’t. No disagreement there. However, this relationship is simply a *correlation*. The doctor herself refrains from claiming that abortions actually *cause* miscarriage.

I don’t mean to say that abortions can’t cause future miscarriage (especially if done improperly), just that the 60% number is way overblown. Keep in mind that women who have abortions are also more likely to suffer from poor health — think substance abuse issues, obesity, and mental illness — than those who don’t. Health factors like these also explain why unready, abortive mothers would be more likely to miscarry in the future. A heavy drinker who aborts today is still more likely to have a miscarriage two years later.

Lol. how funny. some of these religious people are f****** weirdos. you know what it’s hard to call something that is a little more than an embryo with little or no nervous system at all a person you freaking weirdos. they can’t even feel pain without a nervous system. they are not conscience. judge not lest ye be judged yourself! I appreciate the fact that as a woman I have a right for this choice, and I will fight for women’s rights! you have a right to your belief but keep your opinion and believe to yourself you have no right to force it upon anybody that doesn’t want to hear it. I am getting ready to have my second portion in 10 years and I live in the state of North Dakota. this place is filled with all kinds of religious freaks. I am prepared to tell the protesters outside of the only abortion clinic in the entire state to f*** off. and mind their own goddamn business. I am not kidding it pisses me off how dare you people. I believe in God I love God and I don’t think I’m going to go to hell for this. I feel that I am making it a good choice and the right decision in my circumstances and do not tolerate harassment very well.

Hi Amber, I am not a “religious freak” as you call them but I am a Christian and a believer in the word of God. My father is a Pastor but I found my security in God in my own path and journey through life. After reading your passage I couldn’t help but feel extremely sad that you probably haven’t had a true experience of what it means to be a believer and embracing the word of God. You can not live life consciously making poor decisions and validating them with oh well “I believe in God. I love God and I don’t think I am going to hell for this.” Our decisions have consequences, and although no man can judge or condemn we have to be accountable of our actions and know that the Bible is set to guide not hurt, to restore not break, to fulfill not destroy us. God does love you! No matter what anyone says but he also can not forgive without repentance. Sometimes that word has a negative connotation but it simply means praying and asking God for his forgiveness and giving you the strength to not make the same decisions again. We are simply human and make mistakes. Jesus died on the cross for our sins for this purpose.

Im from LA and have seen some “Bible thumpers” but that is not biblical. Jesus wants us to share the love of God, not condemn our brothers and sisters but let our actions speak louder than words, to let his love shine through us! He also says “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing, my brothers this should not be.” I understand your resentment towards man brings you anger but your relationship with God is all you need to cast your cares on. Let your love for God shine brighter than the lack of knowledge from those who no not what they do. Abortion is never a good choice. It is never the answer. God is. He will provide all your needs through even the most difficult of situations. Just call on him and he will guide your paths. I’m not saying this to change your mind or to convert you if you aren’t already a believer but to share the love that I have and the conviction that God acknowledges even when I myself make mistakes and many others. No one is perfect. And if you’re saying at this moment, “How do you know? You don’t understand. How would you get what I am going through?” My answer to you would be, Yes, I do know. I had an abortion when I was 21 years old and thought it was the only option out of fear. Fear that my parents would disown me, fear that I would not financially be able to provide for myself or my baby, fear that the father would not support me, fear that I would not be able to finish school, and fear that I’ll never live the life I hoped for. God will never give us more than we can handle. Through my experience, I faced depression and lost myself. It wasn’t till I truly asked God for forgiveness and lived a life according to his word that I found true happiness. Abortion is not a form for birth control, it isn’t “practicing your rights as a women,” and it isn’t a quick fix for being sexual active. Sex is meant for marriage. It isn’t a bad thing that a lot of religious people make it out to be. It is a beautiful thing that is suppose to be shared between man and woman when a promise is made to share the rest of your lives together. Those were my hopes growing up but when I made the mistake of having sex before marriage and then an abortion, I rededicated my life and my promise to wait for the man that deserves my love. Someone who loves God before me and me before himself. You are so special to God and deserve someone who will show that to you, keeping your relationship with God the center of your lives together as a couple and valuing the scriptures by applying them to your daily lives.

I apologize for the long reply but I hope I was able to shed some light on Christians. Jesus is love. We’re not all bad and on behalf of some of the ones who unfortunately don’t know the love of God, I am sorry! His grace is sufficient, he is never failing and his love is never-ending! I am now 23 years old and will never make the same mistake twice. I am happy and healthy but I’ll always wish I can bring back my baby for the rest of my life. Ill keep you in my prayers and hope that you find understanding in your situation! Have a blessed day!

I just did it and I am having a hard time with it. I didn’t think it would be this hard. The guilt I feel is unbelievable. Your statement has made me feel a little better and I just wanted you to know that I appreciate what you said.

Murder of a child is not a right You’ve been brain washed They/Gov promote it for population control WAKEUP God said go and Multiply Thou shalt not KILL I wd Hate to be you on judgement day It’s coming no one gets out of dying Nobody leaves here alive SMH

Funny, you talk about religious f**** wierdo’s then quote scripture about judging lest you be judged yourself. Religion in itself is bad, Jesus was not religious, He was not Baptist or Catholic but he followed the Holy Spirit, He did and said what the Father did and said. It is unfortunate that the “religious’ types have reflected on Gods true nature and character so negatively. Plain and simple God is the giver and taker of life but he blessed man with the ability to say “yes” to be fruitful and multiply. He gave us the responsibility to take care of the gift of co laboring to create life just like he gave adam and eve the responsibility to co labor and take care of earth and all the creatures. Their free will choice screwed that up and death entered all creation because 1. Eve believed the devil over God and was just to curious and exercised her God given free will. 2. Adam chose to partake with Eve instead of saying na girl you just screwed up and I’m not with ya on this one!”
The problem is many are not responsible with that gift of creating babies that the good Lord gave us and simply have used abortion as a form of birth control……myself 18 years ago included.
God hates sin, not the person, abortion is wrong and is a sin and IS MURDERING! But God loves us and understands everything we do and if we ask Jesus to forgive us He is faithful and just to forgive us. The so called religious weirdos are just caring about the purpose and plan that God must obviously have for that unborn child in the woman going in for the abortion. Many want to be able to help whatever troubles the mother is facing to of made that decision.
I’ts just a cop out for people who want to whine about the religious people so you can go around doing whatever the heck you want without repercussion and without having to face someone that may have a valid point that you just may be being selfish.
A baby has a spirit and is alive the moment of conception or how could it grow. Just because a 1 year old does not know how to do trigonometry does that mean that their brain is dead and you should just kill it now? Cells are a part of life, anything that can come from a tiny egg and sperm to a grown human being is life at anystage after the sperm has penetrated.
I had two abortions 17, 18 years ago. Now when I so desperately want to have a child with my husband I just had my second miscarriage and while I know I am forgiven, It would almost feel just to me that I gave God back 2 of his children out of selfishness and stupidity now I can truly understand the loss and catastrophe that happens when we make those decisions even 20 years later. The blood of Christ is enough though so I am forgiven but just remember, whether you believe in God or not that abortion decision WiLL heavily impact the rest of your life. We all have a judgement day whether you believe it or not, if u have asked for forgiveness then thank goodness, if not…..you better get real familiar with those ground up baby abortions pics because your hell will be worse than u could ever imagine. If you don’t believe it I pray you will come to yur senses by the time this life is done on earth because no matter what kind of an a** you are I would never want anyone to have anything but eternal joy after suffering on this earth.

Bitch your trifflen as fuck. Who the fuck says something like that. If i ever seen you i would beat the fuck out of you. You are sick like forreal get your prioritys straight you need mental help and thats on god !

Omg terrible TERRIBLE so sick I hope you remember you wrote this when you try for a child and cant cause of all the damage you’ve done to your body one day you will grow up though sure you’re in prison for something now and realise how ignorant this really was and heartless. I had a baby to rape at just 14 and raised her in shelters seeking help in organizations and I managed w now help of a family so you women 17 and older grow up and don’t make babies you won’t care for cause as you all say it truly is a choice just hope we all one day will learn to make the right choices. And don’t throw that if the mother’s life is in danger line at me don’t be stupid you know that it truely is different circumstances we all know we’re talking about the excuses that everyone seems to have to justify their choices I Don’t have to make excuses cause I did what’s right and in reality nobody makes excuses for their actions if they know they’re doing what’s right so I never have to answer to anyone you say there’s no other choice or it’s bad timing well life is full of inconveniences you adjust your life and make it work not just say umm no not today and get an abortion. Its not the choice that’s the problem it’s people’s ability to use and perform abortions so freely and act as though it’s a plan B for you sleeping around. You wanna have sex with everyone then be careful about it don’t make a baby to be burdened with your stupidity now if your life is in danger or you were raped then I can see where then that’s a choice but not the sluts who feel this pregnancy happens to them like an STD YOU for yourself pregnant it’s not like a cold you catch by no fault. Grrr I’m NOT angry with the choice I’m not religious and I’m not political I’m angry at society and the things that it finds acceptable and younger generation learning they have no accountability for actions. We’re teaching our children they are the center of the world instead of teaching humanity and selflessness. So very sad what we as people have become. Religious people son against others in the name of God I laugh. It truly is a gift to have a choice when used properly. ITS NOT LAWS THAT NEED TO CHANGE ITA PEOPLE and nobody can argue that.

This should never be legal in any circumstance, because it is murdering a person. Abortion is never necessary to save a mother’s life, and even if it were, it would still be wrong. You must not murder one person, so you can save another. That’s wrong.
In cases of rape, abortion hurts the mother even more, because you are murdering her child. You cannot help her heal from this terrible offense against her dignity, by harming her child. And even if you could, it would still be wrong. You must not murder one person, so that someone else will be helped. What if you were the one being killed?

I find it very sad that you think abortion is not necessary even to save the mother’s life or for a rape victim. I think you should not have a say in either of those, since it is not your call to decide whose life is more important to save. I highly doubt you are a doctor, or probably even in the medical field. You are also obviously not a rape survivor or else you wouldn’t say retarded shit like that. I can only hope you continue this life of naivete because you obviously are not able to intellectually decide what is “right” or the “logical outcome”.

Also, it does not matter “what if you were the one being killed” because dead people do not think. This is why it does not matter. Life does not begin at conception and science has proven that. As far as I know, science has been far more credible than religion ever has.

And for the record, please never speak for a rape victim. Unless you have been raped and impregnated by your rapist you HAVE NOT RIGHT TO SPEAK FOR THEM. You honestly need to shut up and never tell anyone your opinion because you have said some of the stupidest shit I have ever read on the internet and I have read some really stupid shit before.

Disgraceful I’m a rape survivor and I have a baby from that night. I didn’t abort her and I was only 14. So I CAN say rape doesn’t mean you HAVE to get an abortion but it is a choice then. If you have am ectopic pregnancy you can have an abortion these BABIES cannot develop fully and if left will kill the mother who may have born children to live for. Again it’s not the choice that’s the problem it’s the way people use that choice. Not interested in religious views or political views just ask people learn humility accountability and responsibility
